The symphony and the club

Mieke Zuiderweg, Chicago Tribune

Ryan Genson, 27, Chicago, assistant manager of the North Michigan Avenue Nordstrom jewelry watch department; Christina McCain, 33, Bolingbrook, Nordstrom regional jewelry manager Buying anything new for New Year's Eve? She: "I was just looking on the Internet last night. I'm thinking about a short black sequined skirt. A mini with black tights. And, of course, I'll be wearing lots of jewelry. Probably Alexis Bittar, my favorite jewelry designer." And this outfit will debut where? "I'm going to Denver to celebrate my uncle's 60th birthday. We'll be at the Colorado Symphony and then some fireworks." He: "Something Gucci. Something gorgeous." Be specific: "A new Gucci watch, oversize for sure because you need a big watch to tell the time when it hits midnight. New Rock & Republic jeans that I'll wear with a black blazer" (from his closet; he owns three). Where will this be on display? "Probably some chic club with some chic friends and be really — chic!"
